Ismailiyya
building

The Ismailiyya building (Azerbaijani: İsmailiyyə
binası)
is a historical building that currently serves as
the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of
Azerbaijan. It is located on Istiglaliyyat Street in
Baku. The building was constructed for the Muslim
Charity Society by Józef Plośko at the expense of
the millionaire Musa Naghiyev in commemoration of
his deceased son Ismayil, and was named Ismailiyya
after him. Construction began in 1908 and ended in
1913. The building was constructed in the Venetian
Gothic style. The following sentences were carved
with golden letters on the front and side facades of
the building to indicate that this building was
intended for the Muslim Charity Society.
“Human rises with work, and only with the help of
work he can achieve his goal. “ “Work created the
human.” “A person should strive for knowledge from
birth to death.” “Muslims, your century dies with
you. Prepare your descendants for the future.”
“Strive for knowledge, in spite of the length of the
way.”
After the opening ceremony, conferences of Muslim
Charity Society members, meetings of Muslim women
and Baku intelligentsia, and congresses of clergy
were held in the building's white stone assembly
hall. The hall's windows open onto Nikolayevskaya
street. During the March Days in 1918 the building
suffered damage from fire and warfare. In 1923,
under the guidance of the architect Dubov, the
building was reconstructed and the sentences on the
front and side facades were removed. After the
reconstruction of “Ismailiyya”, it was occupied by
various organizations and agencies: “Society of
Inspection and Study of Azerbaijan”, “Archeological
Commission”, “Society of Turkish Culture”, “Fund of
Manuscripts”, Republican branch of the Academy of
Sciences of the USSR and others. At present, the
Presidium of the Academy of Sciences is located
there
